Sharpsthc,
In the future FYI you can save a lot of time germinating using just the wet paper towel method. Soaking in water for 12/24 first really serves no purpose other than trying to drown the seed. Take a simple tupperware container and fold a paper towel into fourths. Wet out the paper towel just to the point of having standing water in the container. Place your seed in the middle of the folds. Place the container(with the top on) on a warm device i.e. cable box, DVD player etc. Someplace the will get it warm. You will have a tap root in 18-24 hours. YOU NEED WARMTH. Also there is ZERO reason to wait till you have a half inch long or longer root before you plant. This is just asking to be broken with planting. All you need is an 1/8th of an inch root. The only reason we germinate outside of the grow media is to verify that the seed is viable and so save a little germ time. I have grown several Mephisto Genetics plants over my last few grows and nearly all of them germed using my method and were in the soil in 18 hours from hitting the paper towel, and above ground 2 days later. Ever time I read about growers soaking seeds in a cup of cold water, some time for days I just shake my head.
